I am not going to blame Gerald for being young with us because we expected far to much from a Highschool forward with no college experience, but I have actually watched him since he was acquired by the Mavs & in Summer Leagues, and I say he could help us ALOT more than Tony could being that he has a few more skills like shooting a open jumper & he can drive & he can ebound a little better than Tony can. Nothing Major for Gerald, but he is not the same 20yr. old he was a celtic, he has improved a whole lot. He is just playing behind stud forwards in Dallas. Dirk, Howard, Stackhouse,etc. We go Pierce then free playing time!
how long does GG get a pass on his horrid play and (reported) atrocious work ethic as a "young player?" he's a 4 year vet. also, you make it sound like he's Dirk's backup. he was getting major minutes on that team and refused to play defense, so now he's back to the end of the bench.
hopefully GG will soon become "a European player" and then a "who?" player so i can stop hearing about his potential.
